When I run a Git command when using AWS CodeCommit, I get the error message “Permission Denied (publickey). Fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights”. How can I fix this?

This error message refers to your SSH public key when connecting to a CodeCommit repository. It is generated because CodeCommit expects different credentials than the ones that it’s receiving. To resolve the issue, verify permissions for the SSH key on your desktop config settings, and ensure the IAM user has the proper SSH key.

You might want to consider generating Git credentials and using HTTPS instead of SSH because Git credentials are compatible with most IDEs and Git clients.
